A lot of life is dealing with your curse, dealing with the cards you were given that aren’t so nice. Does it make you into a monster, or can you temper it in some way, or accept it and go in some other direction?
Meaning of the quote
Life can sometimes feel like a curse, with problems and challenges that are beyond our control. When faced with these difficult situations, we have a choice - do we let them turn us into someone we don't want to be, or do we find ways to manage and accept them, and then move in a new, better direction? The way we respond to the 'cards we are dealt' can shape who we become.
